Problem 2
Kim has a small container and a large container as shown.
[IMG]
It takes 16 of the small containers to fill the large container. Three small containers leave 1.95 gallons of space in the big container.
What is the size of each of the two containers?


Topic options: 
A. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
B. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
C. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
D. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
E. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
F. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
G. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
H. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
I. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
J. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
K. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.


Thought: This set of problems asks students to reason with equations, specifically linear equations, such as the one shown in the table in Problem 1.
Answer: F

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice interpreting relationships between patterns generated from two different rules. Students may need to generate patterns beyond the boxes provided. Encourage them to continue the pattern as needed. Students may describe the patterns and relationships in different, but accurate ways. Encourage them to notice as many relationships as they can and describe the relationships in whatever way makes sense to them. This is the first time students see two patterns where the numbers in one pattern are not multiples of the numbers in the other pattern.

Activity Synthesis
“What is the same and what is different in the way we represented the relationships between the patterns?” (Some of us used numbers and symbols, some of us wrote sentences.)
30 seconds: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
“What is the same and what is different about Set A and Set B?” (They both add the same amount, but one set starts at 0. Set B has a lot more odd numbers in it. In set A, each number in rule 2 is double the number in rule 1, but in set B, each number in rule 2 is 1 more than double the number in rule 1.)
“For which pair of rules was it most challenging to notice and describe relationships?” (Set B because there was no multiple that worked to get from one pattern to the other. Set C because there weren’t doubles or halves.)
